  • Oppose I dont really like photographs of pictures, I don't think thats really what a FP should be. -Ravedave 23:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Even though I am also a little reluctant to voting in favor of photographs of pictures, I have to admit that this one is really a good illustration. Mikeo 09:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support A classic image, and technically much better than earlier noms of paintings (Washington, for instance). Yes, a painting can be a FP! --Janke | Talk 11:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment This image is clear, but did you know the original is 8 feet tall? I would expect a higher resolution reproduction for such a large painting. ~MDD4696 03:39, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I just don't like it much.--Deglr6328 04:46, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I don't know what the picture is depicting, but it is still interesting and makes me want to learn more.Spizzma 20:30, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose too small for what it is. There are so many top quality PD reproductions freely available, I don't think we should accept less than print-quality for FP. I'd consider supporting it at 3000px or more ~ VeledanTalk 16:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Agreed, too low resolution given the source material. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:59, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
